SUMMARY:Kavita Shah Arora: Equitable postpartum permanent contraception
DESCRIPTION:Kavita Shah Arora will present “Equitable postpartum permanent contraception” as part of the Carolina Population Center’s 2023-2024 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series. \nDr. Kavita Shah Arora is an Associate Professor with Tenure in the Division Director for General Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill. Her clinical\, research\, and education interests center around reproductive justice and ensuring evidence-based and equitable reproductive health policy\, with a focus on sterilization disparities. She has authored over 80 peer-reviewed publications and has been funded by the NIH\, HRSA\, Greenwall Foundation\, and Society for Family Planning. She currently serves as the Greenwall Fellow in Bioethics for the National Academy of Medicine and Chair of the national ethics committee of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. She has served on the national ethics committee of the American Medical Association\, on the Board of Directors of the American Society for Bioethics and the Humanities\, and on the Governing Council for the Young Physicians Section of the American Medical Association. She was named a 40 under 40 leader in minority health by the National Minority Quality Forum. \nDr. Arora received her BS with a minor in Philosophy from the Pennsylvania State University.

SUMMARY:Yan Zhang: Number of Children and Older Adults' Cognitive Function in the U.S.\, UK\, and China
DESCRIPTION:Yan Zhang will present “Number of Children and Older Adults’ Cognitive Function in the U.S.\, UK\, and China” as part of the Carolina Population Center’s 2023-2024 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series. \n“I am an assistant professor at East Carolina University\, Department of Sociology. I was a postdoc research scientist at Center for Demography of Health and Aging\, University of Wisconsin-Madison\, before joining ECU. My research agenda focuses on family demography\, population health\, aging & life course\, and gender & sexuality. I am particularly interested in examining how family relationships influence health outcomes among aging population. My current research investigates the association between parenthood (i.e.\, parental status\, parent-child relationship\, and fertility history) and older adults’ risk of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. \nSome of my work has been published in The Journals of Gerontology: Series B\, The Gerontologist\, Social Science & Medicine\, SSM-Population Health\, Annals of Epidemiology\, Chinese Sociological Review\, among other outlets (; ; ) \nI earned a B.A. in sociology at China Agricultural University\, a M.A. in sociology at University at Buffalo\, and a Ph.D. at Michigan State University.”

SUMMARY:Ken Bollen: Causal inference with random assignment vs. researcher created binary treatments
DESCRIPTION:Ken Bollen will present “Causal inference with random assignment vs. researcher created binary treatments” as part of the Carolina Population Center’s 2023-2024 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series. \nKen Bollen develops new quantitative methods to apply to the population and social/behavioral sciences. These include new models to analyze longitudinal data\, creative approaches to analyzing difficult-to-measure concepts\, and developing estimators that have greater robustness to the approximate nature of our models. He also is working on comparing and integrating different approaches to causal inference. Population studies\, health\, and trauma are the contexts within which he develops these methods while also addressing practical substantive questions. \nKen Bollen’s research focuses on creating new statistical tools that have applications across a wide range of population areas. Many of these tools are developed within the field of latent variable structural equation models (SEMs). SEMs formulate systems of equations\, allow multiple “dependent” variables with mediation effects\, and take account of the measurement error commonly found in population-related variables. Collaborating with a number of CPC fellows\, postdocs\, and graduate trainees\, Bollen has applied SEMs to topics such as evaluating the use of birth weight\, gestational age\, and birth length as measures of a mother’s fetal conditions\, assessing the measurement properties of self-rated health and depression measures\, evaluating the quality of physiological measures from surveys\, and analyzing the effects of SES on fertility. Many of these projects have utilized CPC-based data such as those from Add Health and the Cebu Longitudinal Health and Nutrition Survey.
